Possibly a bad alternator, not charging your battery or giving sufficient power to run the car. Can have it load tested at local auto parts store
it could be a few different things. i highly doubt the alternator, if it wasnt charging your car would struggle to turn on or wouldnt crank. Does your car have issues starting back up after it shuts off and will only come on once you let it cool down? if so it could be camshaft or crank position sensors. Thats what my cars issue was, hope this helps.
